Creative Paperclay® Art Reflects Life Canvas

Hi Friends:  It's time for another mixed media canvas featuring Creative Paperclay® and showcasing the versatility of this amazing product.  For this project, I used Creative Paperclay® as a background on my canvas, to cover and enhance a plain dollar store mirror, and in various molds used as accents on the canvas.

Here are some detail shots of the canvas:

Daydreaming Tag Featuring Creative Paperclay®

Hi Friends:  When using molds with your Creative Paperclay®, do you ever accidentally break pieces off the embellishment when removing it from the mold?  It happens to me more than I like, but I NEVER throw those pieces away.  Even if they're too intricate or broken to glue back together, the pieces can always be used in creative ways on your projects.

Here are some broken pieces from an IOD mould - it's a mess:

I used these pieces to create a mixed media tag that shows one way to use them to create a beautiful project and no one would ever know that the pieces weren't meant to go that way.

Here's a quick video tutorial showing how I created the tag and used the broken pieces of that IOD mould:
